As most of you already know I love me a good Bucket List. I pride myself about going all out for them, making them as ambitious as possible (see my original DCP and my DCP 2.0 Bucket Lists for reference). Well in preparation of my upcoming post -grad trip out to California with Caroline, we have teamed up together to compile (another) very ambitious bucket list to tackle for our trip.

During my program I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish half the stuff I did on my first DCP Bucket List without this girl, who is just as ambitious as me when it comes to these things, so I’m so excited to be taking on this trip with her and to scheme up a must do list with my bucket list queen!
I hope you all find this list helpful for your upcoming/future trip to Disneyland or at the very least find it enjoyable. This will be my 6th trip to Disneyland, and even though I’ve done many of these, there are certain things you have to always do when visiting the Disneyland Resort. One of the main reasons I included them is because this is Caroline’s first trip to Disneyland and I’m super excited to show her how VERY different it is to Walt Disney Word, so in my eyes, these are all must do’s when comparing the two resorts.
We don’t leave until May 14th so this list is still a work in progress. If anyone has any suggestions on what to add to this list comment below or DM me on Instagram, I love getting new and exciting suggestions from people!
Until then, Keep Moving Forward
